        Verdict

        Kian's Delight was winning on the Flat and over hurdles last summer but will need to be at his best on his first start since August to get the better of THECORNISHCOCKNEY. John Ryan's charge had looked in the handicapper's grip lately but keeps pulling a bit more out of the bag and popped up again over track and trip a fortnight ago. He makes more appeal than Dr Livingstone, who landed a couple of all-weather bumpers last month and Tartan Jura, runner-up on the Fibresand last time.
